Theory About All These Showdown Complaints Lately
-
I’ve noticed, and I’m sure most of you have as well, that there have been a lot more posts complaining about how hard showdowns are lately. Now relax this isn’t another post saying the patched f’d up showdowns or some bs like that...
I just have a feeling that most of the people complaining about showdowns now, are the same ones who used home run derby to level up pre-patch and are now realizing how hard it is to hit the ball when it’s not thrown straight down the middle at 80mph every time
Just a thought. Have a nice day!

Showdowns are harder because they’re on veteran and not all-star.

yup, the final showdowns are for sure. Stage 1 is easier than stage 2.

I know just imagine how hard it would be on rookie! (I hope you’re not being serious and that was just sarcasm)

The reason it feels harder is because most of the pitchers have a sinker primary and their /9’s are better. Nothing more, nothing less. To say its harder on veteran vs allstar is ludicrous

I'm being serious. On all star the pitchers throw a lot of balls, which means you can get their counts up and take a lot of walks. Not to mention if you have lucky 7 you can get a lot of meatballs to hit. On veteran they throw a lot of strikes around the edges, harder to hit and you won't walk as much.

It’s not harder per se, but the pitchers on veteran seem to hit the black constantly, while the all star level pitchers hang more or get more plate on the pitch. Hitting wise it’s the same, but seems slightly better on all star with feedback. In both levels I have hit perfectly balls with decent power guys and it stops at the track

I’m dead serious, you can’t even move your pci to certain spots in the strike zone on veteran, yet cpu pitchers will throw perfect dots on the black. Also, pitch speeds are too slow and make it hard adjusting back to online play.

I guess one crazy theory deserves another. I saw you made your own post about it but thanks for taking over this one as well...

I mean, harder may not be the right word, but definitely less consistent. CPU pitchers on veteran throw strikes that your pci can’t even get to because the pci doesn’t cover as much of an area on veteran as it does on all star and above. That’s my biggest gripe with them being on veteran.

Lol do you guys even remember stage 1? The runners you need to bat in, don’t already start in scoring position. The mini bosses don’t have +12outs. Literally every part of stage 1 is harder than stage 2 so of course stage 2 is HaRdeR

3 quarters is bigger than one dollar because 3 is more than one.

I think the recent complaints are for 2 reasons:
-
with the new FS rewards people want cards they had no affinity points in and thus are trying to get to 70 quickly with showdowns
-
as people play showdowns more, they are realizing just how awful things like CPU defense and good/okay are in must win situations.

Not even joking, the blue moments are easier on veteran, but the actual showdowns I've had much more success on all star, due to being able to work counts and get the pitcher up to 150+ pitches and taking walks.
